Political Dig

A former police officer from Alabama revealed on Tuesday that she had to keep an eye on Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore in the 1980s at local high school football games because he would regularly harass the team’s teenage cheerleaders.

Appearing on MSNBC, Faye Gary, who for 37 years was an officer at the Gadsden Police Department, told host Andrea Mitchell Moore’s reputation for pursuing underage girls was widely known throughout the community.

“We were told to watch him at the ballgames, and make sure that he didn’t, you know, hang around with the cheerleaders,” said Gary.

Gary also said she learned that Moore had been barred from entering the local shopping mall because he had been “harassing” young women who worked there.

Moore faces multiple allegations that he inappropriately pursued teenage girls when he was in his 30s, including allegations from two women that Moore tried to force them to have sexual contact with him when they were both under the age of consent.
